Yield Makes 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 1/2 pounds baby back pork ribs, cut between bones into individual ribs (18-20 ribs)
1 cup soy sauce, divided
9 garlic cloves, minced, divided
5 teaspoons cumin seeds, divided
3 teaspoons crushed red pepper flakes, divided
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
6 scallions (white and light-green parts separated from dark-green parts), finely chopped
1 1/2 cups fresh orange juice plus zest from 1 orange
3 tablespoons honey
Zest from 1 lemon and 1 lime

Steps:

  • Place ribs, 1/2 cup soy sauce, 3 minced garlic cloves, 2 teaspoons cumin seeds, and 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes in a large pot; add water to cover completely. Bring to a boil and immediately reduce to a simmer. Cover with lid ajar; cook until ribs are tender, about 2 hours. Drain ribs; set aside for 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, heat oil in a small saucepan over medium heat; add remaining 3 teaspoons cumin seeds and 2 teaspoons red pepper flakes. Toast lightly until fragrant, about 30 seconds; add remaining 6 minced garlic cloves and white and pale-green scallions. Sauté until just soft, about 2 minutes. Add remaining 1/2 cup soy sauce, orange juice, and honey. Bring to a boil and cook until sauce is thick, 12-15 minutes.
  • Preheat broiler. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil. Place ribs on prepared sheet; brush with sauce. Broil until sauce bubbles, 2-3 minutes. Turn, brush with additional sauce, and broil until ribs are heated through and sauce is bubbling, 2-3 minutes longer. Transfer to a platter. Drizzle with remaining sauce. Sprinkle dark-green scallions and citrus zest over.

This recipe is a keeper! The ribs were fall-off-the-bone tender and the glaze was finger-licking good.

The ribs were tender and juicy, but the glaze was a bit too salty for me.

I made these ribs for my family and they were a huge hit. The glaze is the perfect balance of sweet and savory.

These ribs were a bit dry for my taste, but the glaze was tasty.

Not a fan of the orange and soy glaze. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

The glaze is a bit too sweet for my taste, but the ribs were cooked well.

These ribs were fall-off-the-bone tender and the glaze was sticky and flavorful. I used a combination of orange marmalade and soy sauce for the glaze and it was perfect.
